INTERSTING INFO:
From the 2003 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Say hello to the newest member in our family of award-winning sky blue Iris, Abiqua Falls. See for yourself; our big advance in color, flower form and plant vigor is illustrated on the front cover. This clean sapphire blue self has ruffled and twirled petals that give a sense of water in motion, which is how this Iris got its name. Its very vigorous plant growth is both disease resistant and produces eight to nine buds per stalk.
